CZ 527 safety lever removal

[nmiller]

I'm sending my 527 out for Armoloy and I need to strip all the parts off of it for the coating process. The one part I'm stumped on is the safety lever. I see there looks to be a staked pin that holds on a smaller lever below the thumb lever but I'm hoping there's a trick to it that will let me avoid grinding out the stake punch on the pin.

Any help would be appreciated.
